A Housing Stock Fit for the Future
A short report bringing together key statistics that support the economic, social and environmental case for home retrofit.
Before the 2015 General Election, UKGBC coordinated the Homes Fit for the Future campaign which called for home energy efficiency to be recognised as a national infrastructure priority.
The campaign sought to create a sustainable market and significantly scale up delivery by making home energy efficiency a national infrastructure priority and creating a national programme for delivery.
In the run-up to the 2015 General Election, we called on all political parties to:
- Make home energy efficiency a top infrastructure priority
- Support investment with a long term revenue stream
- Achieve 1 million deep retrofits each year by 2020
In June 2014, we published a joint report, A housing stock fit for the future: Making home energy efficiency a national infrastructure priority, which summarised the key benefits of energy efficiency and set out the campaign’s key asks.
